Kuggs could have a test role as #8 / aggressive 4th seamer if Santner settles in at #6. Southee / Boult / Henry as opening swing bowlers, Wags / Braces etc as 3rd seamer to do stock role, Kuggs to bowl 10-15 overs a day, 140+, bouncers. But so could Milne ...

Kuggs should be more injury resistant and bowls a heavier ball

Yeah I wonder what Milne's speeds are actually like when the ball's into the twentieth yard of flight. I guess it's that pushy-outy move with Milne's wrist and arm working at cross purposes that makes a Milne ball such a light ball.
CW's Ponty to confirm. Ian Pont.

Amateur Analysis: I think he doesn't impart as much back spin on the ball as other fast bowlers with their wrist flick, which means the ball doesn't kick up despite his height and speed and also means the seam wobbles a little more meaning he never gets movement off the wicket nor in the air. Although he used to swing it prodigiously when he first got on the scene.

While this sounds incredibly painful, and almost career ending. It is important to keep this in perspective and remember how much disruption this caused to Huriicane's telly watching enjoyment over the next 3 or 4 days.

Love Bennett. Would like to see him back for Black Caps one day.

Hunter with nice height and more consistent swing than Duffy this morning. Looks good on the Patumahoe clay, so I might get Edgar onto a new poaching trail.

nah
if we bring in the duke ball we get the issue county cricket has, which is dibbly dobblies becoming fearsome strike bowlers.
in other words everyone would stack the batting by picking six batsmen, a keeper and four allrounders.
it's a band aid over the reasons we have Munro's Law. the bowlers just have to get better.
all for dukes at test level though.

If they want to use him as fodder in T20s that would be ok though.

Looking at Firebirds bowling lineup we need a whole new lineup.

Yeah, there's a Paul Wiseman quote to that effect which got him on my radar. Canterbury with him, Latham, Carter & Bowes have quite a promising batting line up now.

Poor Nicholls, already 'that' guy.
Howsie

Yeah but wouldn't Latham be in that same boat?

heh, just an (unfortunate) oversight by me.
